The Riacho das Almas Linear Urban Park, stretching 9.1 km in the municipality of Itapipoca, is designed with the following key principles: Addressed Risks: Flooding and inundation. Solution: The park is a green urban space engineered to temporarily retain or absorb water, reducing the impact of floods without necessarily remaining waterlogged during dry periods. It functions as a natural buffer zone during intense rainfall events. Application: Implementation of the Riacho das Almas Linear Urban Park in Itapipoca’s urban center prioritizes strategic areas such as undeveloped spaces near residential and commercial complexes, high-traffic streets, and vacant lots. Residential-adjacent parks enhance residents’ well-being and quality of life. Parks in commercial areas provide leisure and relaxation spaces for workers and visitors. Public undeveloped areas, like squares and vacant lots, are ideal for revitalization to improve drainage, urban landscape, reduce heat, and promote local biodiversity. The project operates at a municipal scale, following a hierarchy of protection, recovery, and creation.
